Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 309: Demonic Gods

Passing my hands through my head, a Dio pose possessed me filling me with accomplishment. Laughing menacingly, I peered at the fool before me.

Gu Shen's was shivering, his mind confused and a little broken. His Qi and Body were at their limit. Yet he pointed his lance at me, glaring with untamed resentment. A foolish action that proved nothing.

"You still stand before me?" I arrogantly asked, feeling the inner Edge running deep within me, "an insignificant ant that cannot see Mt. Tai. Kneel, Gu Shen, for I shall not ask again!"

Barking like a rabid dog, a powerful soul force began to radiate off Gu Shen sending my mind deep into Darkness. Sneering in untamed contempt, I remained still watching the little insect charge like a raging beast.

The power of this city was at my fingertips, and If I died, so, two would Lilith. How could I allow myself to crumble? Allowing his Lance land, a defining thud resounded through the hollow city, shattering glass and various structures. Narrowing my eyes my smile, and emotion vanished, leaving only a deep blackness within my soul.

Placing my palm gently upon his collar that was trembling, I spoke in a voice that demanded attention, a tone that sent chills down those who heard it. "Do you feel in charge? Do you think your Godhood gives you dominion over me? I was born within the Darkness, molded by it. "

"I-I-I,"

Fumbling over his words, I lowered the Edge playing at my heart. Merely staring at the pure horror, Gu Shen finally found the words, "You! How do you have this power? That's impossible. You are only a Spirit Realm and Dark Star Realm cultivator. You cannot possibly be this powerful.

Lowering my hands, I placed them behind my back, turning around as my entire city began to repair itself.

"It is not my power; I am not nearly this powerful, but I hold knowledge from my very blood, from the source of my demonic origin. Tell me, Gu Shen, did you really think you were special." I asked, trying to understand his motivation. "Aside from having fun within the formation, I did nothing allowing the faceless to slaughter and capture you people. This was not even a battle but a brutal slaughter. So tell me, for I do not understand why you would dare attack me when not even the gods would."

Studying his face, I could not even begin to analyze his expression that was uglier than Hephaestus. Scuffing in derision, I waved my palm, teleporting us within my throne room.

"You cannot kill me!" He coldly stated, "I am one of the Five Houses of the Celestial."

"So it was due to idiocy," I commented, taking to the throne. Taking a seat, I placed my palm upon my cheek, slouching upon my Blackened Throne. "Why am I not surprised. Yura did say you were nothing more than a loser."

"That bitch knows nothing!" Gu Shen Howled, pointing his lance towards me, "You cannot maintain that state for long, and there are no gods within this city!"

"Correct, there are no Gods within this city, only Demons, but yet again, do you truly believe your safe even with that armor that protects you?"

Slapping his armor, a rich smile appeared upon Gu Shen's obnoxious face, "This baby can defend against the power of a new god! You cannot stop me!" He bragged to my surprise.

"I see, "I indifferently uttered, snapping my fingers, causing a random demon to appear. He was not a Faceless or anyone from my army but rather some casual demon I teleported. Waving my palm, an invisible force tore his head from his body, showering my throne room in blood.

"What madness is this?" Gu Shen abruptly asked, confused by my actions.

Ignoring his question, for now, a large pentagram began to form from the crimson blood. Resting my eyes upon Gu Shen, I spoke, "Well, if I cannot hurt you or kill you, I will just send you to The Nine Hells to live your life. To be tortured for all eternity!"

Widening his eyes, a deep realizing appeared. Chucking at this foolish young Master, I smirked, "It truly is a shame, don't you think? I am sure your parent will soon be able to see the torment you will be facing."

"NO!" Gu Shen roared with a pale Grimice exploding out with even more Celestrial Qi." I will die before I go there!"

"yes, please do, and when you die, I will simply take your soul and that armor." I scornfully said, enjoying playing with the heart of this idiot.

"What do you want? You would not be making this much conversation if you did not want something!" He fearfully shouted, shaking uncontrollably, finally connecting some of the dots.

Resting my eyes, I yawned, "I want to know more about Argo. He seems far more intelligent as to not appear within this death trap... And Ren, where is he?"

Turning back to the formation that was slowly beginning to form into a flaming abyss, I smiled, feeling the aura of the Nines Hells flowing into Midgard.

Gulping down, Gu Shan helplessly released his lance. "I do not know much, but Merikh should know more about him."

"I see," I muttered, rising from my throne, opening my cold eyes to the Young Master Gu. I stepped down from my throne, watching him quickly back away, fearful for his life.

"Please don't do this! I will tell you about everything I know. Please don't do this!" Gu Shen begged, falling to his knees.

Rolling my eyes, I snapped as the formation vanished, "It was just a pentagram and a little excess energy from the nines I had. Do you really think I am capable of opening a portal to another plane? You truly are an idiot. I sincerely hope no one from your house is watching. If I was your father, I would kill myself."

Basking in joy at his horrified expression, I cruelly snickered, "However, your time is at its end." I coldly said as twenty demons from the nines appeared. All of them appearing like minotaurs, similar to Baphomet. However, their bodies were not as big or frightening.

"Demonic Minotaurs," I said, licking my lips feeling a bloodlust that sent chills down my spine, "All of them being New Gods, but do not worry, I have instructed them not to kill you. Only break you till nothing of your former self is left, and once that is gone, your family will be next."

"Arsene, please don't do this; my family can give you anything!" He pleaded, slapping his head upon the ground. "Just take Yura. In fact, I can give as much woman as you want!"

Sneering, I spat upon his head, "Form his heart, he appears to have seven children. Start with that before physical pain."

"We are the experts, Lord Snow, but we will take your word into account!" A scarred minotaurs thundered, snorting terrifying flames from its nostrils.

"I am sure you will now leave. I have a very important business meeting with Bael. It has been a while since I last saw him!"
